Welcome

I’m Ian. I build things and occasionally write about them.

I live in the Bay Area, California. I used to work for Google, Looker, and other startups and companies. I’ve founded a game studio and the #1 pickleball website and app. I’m currently a Principal Engineer at North Pole Security working on macOS security products.

You might also be interested in my GitHub profile, my dotfiles, my link shortener, or my nostalgia-laden text adventure game at langworth.com. A long time ago, I also wrote a book on Perl.

You can follow me on Bluesky, Mastodon, or LinkedIn. You can subscribe to future posts via RSS or email.
